I wanted to see how it say my CD-Changer I just acquired. I know, I didn't make world, I just wanted to see what came up. I got something I didn't expect. wd0a is /, wd0s3e is /usr, swap and such are on sd0[...]. I got a 'changing root device to wd0s3' and then It told me that 'mounted filesystem doesn't match (needed or somesuch)' It dumps me to sh where / (wd0a) is mounted ro as root_device and I can mount the other filesystems rw to /mnt, /mnt2, etc. Returning to kernel.orig makes it all better. My concern is that if I make world I may end up in this same state. BTW, I'm 2.2.5, P150, 32MB, wd0 on wdc0, sd0 on ahc0, wcd0 on wdc1. Thoughts? Suggestions? ______________________________________________________________________ Rob Snow rsnow@lgc.com Manager Unix Development Support Phone: 512.292.2333 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
